That kind of thing is quite common in small agency environments, where you might have a bunch of different clients on support contracts paying for x hours a month of time.
With that being said, in those types of environments, cost is everything, and BitBucket is still the cheaper option.

#1531. Take a gazillion dollars in funding on an over-hyped valuation, 2. Go through significant organizational changes that end up with the departure of a co-founder (and more suits in the building). 3. Notice that a significant segment of your growth (VC-funded startups) are running out of money. 4. Switch to a user-based pricing to generate more revenue for investors, but spin it as a freebie "Hey! Look at the cool un…
Compared to products like Salesforce, GitHub seems cheap to me. What to you is a fair price and why?
As stated at the end of my comment, a fair price is what they decide to charge. I simply don't like people to try and spin a price increase into a freebie.

Except that now GitHub is 9x more expensive than BitBucket (and for a team under 5 developers, GitHub is $25 vs. BitBucket's $0).
Bitbucket is terrible though, so what does it matter?
Bitbucket is awesome. Their bug tracker is much better... plus Hipchat for free! Do you seriously spend money on Slack ;)

#155Is there a definition of "a few collaborators" anywhere? How many people, and is it per repo or per paid account? Really need more information before I decide if GitHub continues to get my $7/month or not.

Really? I guess entire Atlassian suite is awesome. Bitbucket for SCM, Jira, Wiki and all that make it a perfect combo.

git is distributed. You can give access to a mirror of your git repo for execs that don't access the repo or contribute to it. They don't need to be github users, they just need git access to an url. If github is still convenient for you, there is a solution to avoid paying for this users. It only really makes sense to have developers added as github users (of course, it used to be convenient to just ask them to be g…
I know git is distributed, that's not the point. Github as a platform is convenient and understood even by non technical people. They can browse files, even edit on the web.
I hope they create a stakeholder account for that. But it is wrong to put all your eggs in one basket. Github is nice to show to non technical people but it is definitely an over kill.

I'm a nodejs developer. I use its package manager `npm` on a daily basis. `nodejs` packaging philosophy enforces you to break every lib into smaller modules in order to have small, consistent, easy to reason about, modules. While being a great philosophy, it requires developers to maintain many projects, thus owning many github repositories (often private when working for clients).
This is a great news for me.

You mean... you don't like it when the marketing department of a profit-making enterprise does marketing in an attempt to make more profit?
I work in a small agency, and our GitHub bill will go down as a result of these changes.
Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#160Hmm, I still will use Gitlab instead of Github. Unlimited public and private repos for free is nice.
Does anyone know how Gitlab plan to sustain that?
a) They are vc funded
b) They give things free to drive up adoption. For example, I don't think it will be free anymore if it was as popular as GitHub. Since that would not be sustainable.
IMO, it's a poor decision by gitlab to give things out for free. Instead of innovating on features, they try to keep it cheap.
